House bill would boost tax on ammo by 50%, guns 20%
August 26, 2013
A new gun control scheme that would boost the federal excise tax on ammunition to 50 percent and raise the tax on some firearms to 20 percent has been introduced by two anti-gun Democrats and is just today raising alarms on the Internet, and at the offices of the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb calls H.R. 3018 “confiscatory taxation.” It is sponsored by Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-IL) and Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), and they are calling it the "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013."
“What they couldn’t ban,” Gottlieb said, “they are now trying to tax out of existence.”

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo
For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
